And I’m scarfing it down like a starving gummy freak. I mean, even more starving a gummy freak than I actually am. You get the picture. On my table there are wrappers for approximately 300g (about 10 ounces?) of gummy. I’ve finished all that in about 4 days. Help. In Germany and Austria, they sell the stuff in 1 kilo bags. _drool_ ---

**Tabby** , step AWAY from the gummies. Back away slowly. Go easy, now… easy… 😉 ---

I love the gummi bears too! Why, I don’t know, but I do. Thank goodness for the Dope, no matter what we like there is usually someone else who shares out tastes. ---

You can buy a 5 pound bag at CostCo of Black Forest Gummy bears for $6. I put it out in a jar at my desk and between me and the people who stop by, it usually only lasts 5 days, so I am just as bad! ---

The sour ones that have one flavor on one end and another on the other! I can’t believe I ate a whole bucket of the things… AND I STILL LIKE THEM! Anyone ever had chocolate-covered gummi bears? Oh LAWD that sounds nasty, but they’re really good. 😃 \_ \_ ---

It costs about 2 dollars for 175g (um, 0.4 pounds?) bag of Haribro gummies here. ☹ ---

Anyone ever put gummi worms/bears in the freezer? They last longer! And they’re still oh-so-tasty. I haven’t actually tried it with the sour ones though. ---

Well, if we are speaking of guilty pleasures - I love the Japanese gummies in peach and melon. Hideously priced at $3.99 for 4.41 oz. at Media Play and I still can’t resist them. Funny part is that the store doesn’t even know the name of them, it just says ‘Anime Candy’ on the price tag. ---

> [@LoganDear](#): > > Anyone ever put gummi worms/bears in the freezer? They last longer! And they’re still oh-so-tasty. I haven’t actually tried it with the sour ones though. Ooo! Good idea. I do that with grapes, slows the consumption of those, too. \_ \_ ---

I wonder… are those peach ones are better than the apricot/peach ones that are usually found in American candy stores? Ugh, I hate those. ☹ I grew up in Germany in the 1980’s… I have the feeling that country is the ancestral home of all things gummi (pronounced “goomee”). Gummi cherries, gummi cokebottles, … OH GOD! Gummi cokebottles!!! \_ \_ ---

I’ve assisting a friend in the consumption of a FOUR POUND box of sour keys. I don’t think we’ll finish them before they go stale. ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > I’ve assisting a friend in the consumption of a FOUR POUND box of sour keys. I don’t think we’ll finish them before they go stale. Reminds me of the time I went to Salzburg in december, and brought back about 2 kilos of the stuff. Gone by the end of January. 😃 Help me, I’ve just opened another 175g pack of them…ack ---

I must confess that I have a gummy addiction too… Here it is Haribo. While I am working on an essay I can easily consume two full bags of the StarMix without any trouble. My favorite are the gummy coke bottles and the clear/green rings. Mmmm, I’m hungry just thinking about it…dammit! _must not succumb, must not succumb_ Cheers, Daphne ---

Mmmmmm Haribo gummies. At the moment I can only buy them in the small bags of the wonderful gummies but I plan to search out sources and buy in bulk. I have just discoverd the wonderful HEB Central Market which stocks all kinds of Haribo goodness and not just the Gold Bears. They never last long around me. ---
